As I am sure you know, the government passed a number of laws in January of 2015, that heavily effected the residential building industry. Included in these new laws is the following.

Before the contract is signed, Building contractors are now required to provide the customer with a checklist if the job is will cost more than $30,000 (including GST) or at the customers request. The checklist gives the customer a step-by-step guide to the building process and lets them know what is going to happen throughout the duration of the job. The checklist lets all parties know what is ahead in the job, and will stop any confusion that may pop up later on.
